Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Stir together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add milk. Stir just until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 to 6 times. Roll dough out into a rectangle 1/4" thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Fold rectangle in half lengthwise and cut into 1" strips.
Twist strips and place at least 1" apart on baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until light golden brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool slightly.
While twists are cooling, mix together glaze to a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over twists. Store cooled twists in an airtight container.
